FIVE Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Question: I've been watching Spray Painting Part_01 again and again and again... stressing about starting the painting process because of the temp outside. The thing is... where I live (87047)... it's about 72º right now with 30% humidity. It's hotter, of course, in my shed, but I'm just wondering where the breaking point with the paint is. Right now I'm planning on cleaning the bucket this afternoon, then painting it tonight when it cools off a bit. Should I just bite it and wait till fall? Or you think I'm good to go. Plus... it is for a TD... so it don't gots to be perfect or nothin'... yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4510 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 You should be OK for now. If the humidity and heat get much higher it will be more of a pain. If its TD I wouldnt sweat it at the temp. you are at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You should be OK for now. If the humidity and heat get much higher it will be more of a pain. If its TD I wouldnt sweat it at the temp. you are at now.Excellent. I actually waited till about an hour ago and started painting it out in my shed. It worked GREAT! Thanks for the advice... and again for the great vids. Now then... is it okay to leave the bucket in the shed for the week? It does get pretty toasty in there during the day with no window open and so on. But since it's going to have basically 10 hours before it starts getting hot... will it be good? Or should I bring it inside in the morning? Inquiring minds don't cha know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4510 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I would be worried about dust or morning dew. You need to find a dry dust free area to store it in. If the shed is clean and dust free and does not get moist then it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going so good. Looked at it this morning and couldn't believe it. My MRCE mod I used Krylon paint because I mucked up severely on the Rust-O-leum (waiting hours between coats and such). Doing it like the instructions say makes it SOOO much easier!! Pictures soon! (I'll post them on my thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi Mike, how are you doing bro. I will soon start assembling my new bucket soon and wanted to checkout your videos, but it appear that the links are broken or something. Is there any chance you can make them available again? Thx for any help. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
